A knockkneed young negro went

UncOnyinced.

Many and strange are the innocent
sophistries of childhood in gaining its
point. How quickly they learn even to
distrust the evidence of their senses. A
little girl who was addicted to prodi-
gal use of sugar upon her oatmeal had
been put upon an allowance of a reason
able number of spoonfuls.
One morning she had been given the
specified quantity, but presently asked !:
Mamma, may have just one spoonful
more?"
mo, dear"
By-and-by some one noticed that the
little girl was sitting sulkily before her
untasted plate, and inquired, why
don't You eat your oatmeal, kittv?"
Il can't; it isn't sweet enough"
Nonsense said mamma. Don't
he a little fuss-budget. Try a spoonful
and you'll like it"
But if you only knew how sour it IS !"
said KITTY, tragically.
Mamma good-naturedly took spoon
full.
Eat it Immediately, DEAR" she said
with decision. 1T tastes quite sweet "
Kitty obediently took her spoon, but
she had one more remark to make
1T may taste sweet" she sa d, re-
signedly, ~but, mamma, it isn't sweet. "

at the one hotel in good style. The

somewhat dampening. L gave him q
half-dozen tickets for the lecture.
When came on the platform there
were but seven persons in the hall, six
of them being from the hotel, and the
seventh a small boy who came in free.
When L got back to the hotel called
the landlord into my room and had
him bring me all the old newspapers
he could find and ball of cord. l
took out my book, wrapped dozen or
SO of newspapers around it, and then
began winding the cord.
II wound that entire bali about the

A COwbOy's HOspItaIity.

One hot afternoon, as we were APP
preaching Big Dry Greek. q cowboy
suddenly rode in sight on the crest OF q
ridge and came down the slope toward
US at swinging gallop. He sat as erect
as bronze statue, and had he been
dashed to his horse like another Ma
zeppa he could not have sat more per-
fectly motionless in his saddle. In
stinctively we Strengthened up our tired
shoulders and sat erect also. Evidently
he wanted to speak to us So we rode
forward to meet him, wondering the
while whether his manner would be
agreeable or irritating.
After we had civilly exchanged how
do-you-dos, he inquired if We had seen
any horses since morning. He had lost
some, and up to that time, 2 o'clock,
had ridden about twenty-five miles in
search of them. No, we had not seen
any horses. SO we fell to asking ques-
tions about trails, creeks and water
holes. We were getting a deal of in
formation, when he suddenly exclaimed /:
"Looky here, fellers! The best thing
you can do is to pull on to our ranch
and put up for while. It's only
twelve miles from here. Take the trail
that turns off to the left, about three
miles ahead. You won't find anybody
at home-the boys are all off on the
roundup, you know-but just go right
in and make yourselves at home"
isn't the door locked?"
Thunder, no. We never lock doors
in this country. Somebody might come
along hungry, and want to get in to get
some grub, or stay all night. If a cow
boy wanted to get in, and found the
door locked, he'd just simply break it
down"
Aren't you afraid of thieves?"
"Oh, no; nothing is ever stolen A
mans upon his honor, you know and,
besides, if feller'd ever really steal
anything out of shack the country'd
soon be too hot to hold him. Anybody
that comes to a shack hungry is ex-
pected to go in and get square meal,
and stay all night if he wants to-"
isn't that privilege often abused p
NO: hardly ever. Say, you'll find a
COW up at the ranch and you can milk
her, if you want to. There are plenty
of eggs about the stable; if you want
'em go for EN-. Just make yourselves
at home, and stay as long as you libe.
I'll be glad to have yer company"
A few more remarks were exchanged,
and then our cowboy gathered up his
reins and said:
well, I've got to finish my circuit
twenty miles more, | reckon; so must
be moving. So long. I'll see you al
the ranch about shutdown"
And flinging the last remark over his
shoulder at us, his pony galloped rap
idly away; a moment later he rode over
the ridge and disappeared.-W Z,

Bob Burdette's War Experience.

In the summer of 1862, at the tender

Lincoln, in a proclamation issued
about that time, to save the country.
He did so. He entered Company G,
Forty seventh Illinois Infantry, as
private gentleman, and put down the
rebellion with musket longer than
himself, for he was brief of stature, be-
ing but feet inches short He
saved his country, although he hasn't
got deed for it yet. The Government
wouldn't promote him and woJldn't re-
duce him, so he held his rank steadily,
which is more than some generals did.
He knew General Grant intimately b :

with him. At General Banks urgent
solicitation he. with a number of other

Profits of Monte Carlo Gambling.

The results OF day at Monte Carlo
to the proprietors of the Casino and to
the principality of Monaco are testi-
fed in the boxes, weighted TIL gold,
carried away before the very eyes of
the losers. 1t is said that each table
wins from f1,500 to $4,000 day,
which shows gross gain from the eight
tables of from el2, 900 to $4,000.
These sums must be multiplied by
$50 to show the probable yearly in
come, as the trafc season never ceases
from January TO December, and Sun
days are the busiest days of the year.
This explains the prosperity of Monaco
the pretentiousness of its government,
the wealth OF its Prince, the freedom
from taxation of it's inhabitants, its
building of cathedrals, and keeping q
